Sunshine State Young Readers Award Books
SSYRA 23-24
Each year, the Florida Association for Media in Education (FAME) selects 15 high-interest books for a statewide reading contest.
CGE encourages our 3rd - 5th graders to read at least 3 Sunshine State books independently to earn brag tags and other prizes. Kindergarten - 2nd graders may participate by reading the 15 SSYRA Junior selections independently, in the classroom, and as part of library lessons throughout the year.
To earn prizes for completing an SSYRA book, take the MCSDReads quiz for it and earn a 70% or higher. (Please visit the library if your score does not reach 70% 😊)
